No need for special fabric or chemicals! We used an old pillowcase and acrylic paint to make these leaf and flower prints! And of course, the power of the sun 🌞
You can watch it all in our video below. We hope you enjoy this easy nature craft!
To make your sun prints on fabric, you will need:
Fabric (we used an old pillow case)
Acrylic paints (or fabric paint if you want to decorate a cool t-shirt or a bag!)
Brushes
Water in a bowl
Nature finds (leaves, flowers, small rocks)
A warm sunny day
Tips:
If the fabric dries out as you’re placing your leaves, spray it with water. It needs to be wet to work its magic.
It was a windy day so we used rocks but be careful placing them; they will leave a print too!
How does it work?
Water evaporates from the exposed surface of the fabric in the heat of the sun but not from the areas protected by the leaves/flowers/rocks. Water moves from the protected wetter area under the leaves to the drier open area, pulling the paint with it and making the print. It’s so fun to peel off the leaves and reveal the magic!
